Australian energy transition data

In order to explore the scale of the challenge in transition the electricity sector to meet the challenge of Net Zero Emissions a time series data set was created. This data set provides a continuous annual time series of historical and projected Australian electricity generation and capacity data from 1900 to 2050. \nLineage: Data for the period 1955 to 2050 was already available from existing reports but needed to be drawn together and reconciled as far as practical. For the period 1900 to 1955, CSIRO commissioned George Wilkenfeld and Associates to construct a state and territory time series for electricity generation and generation capacity. The main sources are the state and Commonwealth year books and Tait’s Electrical Directory of Australia and New Zealand.
